Greetings! Hope you’re enjoying the first days of fall. Here in Orlando it doesn’t feel like the cool North Wind is ever going to blow us a kiss. For now, we remain stuck like a scratched record album repeating the same phrase over and over. Instead of lyrics, it’s hot, humid days that hang Continue reading …
Greetings! You’ve been missed! I’m glad to be back! Allow me to fill you in on all the latest in McKee Land! (If you want to skip right to the etiquette part of this post, you’ll find the first bold blue title farther down the page.) When I went on vacation last month, I didn’t Continue reading …
Greetings! Welcome to Monday! I hope your weekend was slow-paced enough for you to get some rest and that today won’t be too “Monday-ish” for you! After my disastrous Friday of accidently sending out 24 e-mails, instead of one, you all were incredibly kind! I’m forever grateful to each of you! After I sent my Continue reading …
Greetings! You are so kind to stop by! Please, come on in and take a look around! It’s an honor to have you here! Of course, my blog home is still under construction. I just couldn’t wait any longer to share it with you. The links don’t work, there’s nothing much in the archives, and Continue reading …
Your sweet e-mails of encouragement continue to come in about my little guy. Thank you so very much! I have printed out each one. I will always keep them. Each precious note you send impacts my day and makes my heart expand with gratefulness for your kindness to Corbett and our whole family. For those Continue reading …
Welcome back to Monday! As always, it’s great to be with you! Today, I have some dirty laundry to share with you. No, it’s not the celebrity gossip page kind. My life isn’t exciting enough to be scandalous. (Thank you, Lord!) My laundry woes are real ones: socks, sheets, and shirts. Is it only me Continue reading …
Greetings! Welcome to Monday! The best part of each one, for me, is connecting with you! Thanks for dropping by! Here’s a random question. Ever pondered what your deepest emotional fear is? Not just your phobias, like apprehension about spiders, heights, flying, or-my particular odd avoidance-Japanese Steak Houses. Yes, that’s right, Japanese Steak Houses. They’re Continue reading …
It’s been much too long since I’ve written, please accept my apologies. You might remember in my last newsletter, right before Christmas, I shared that Corbett, our six-year-old son, was diagnosed that week with dyslexia. Kent and I were shocked, panicked, and overwhelmed with the decisions we had to make quickly with next to no Continue reading …
A business acquaintance of mine experienced the reality of most moms’ educational dreams for their children. Harvard University contacted her son out of the blue to say they were interested in pursing him joining their prestigious halls of learning. “How did you feel when you read the letter?” I asked her. “Honestly, I felt really, Continue reading …
I hope each of you enjoyed an abundantly blessed and memory-making Thanksgiving! The McKee family celebrated around a smaller-than-usual Thanksgiving table this year. Year-before-last there were eighteen gathered around three tables in our dining room, kitchen, and living room. Comparing the two years, I’ve discovered I prefer the larger Walton Family style of celebration. “Sure,” Continue reading …
